So this is why you were asking about the warp flag.  You could just do some fancy stuff with rscripts and make even cooler lava than warp would ever do. :)

So I take it that if I were to do the warp animation via rscripts, there would be a significant difference in performance?

Not sure.  I wouldn't use warping at all, though.  Lava doesn't really warp anyway.  It oozes (or gets blasted into the air).  But in a situation like you have, it probably wouldn't move at all.  What I would do is take your rock layer, make it transparent where the glowing orange/red is, then put another layer under it with either a moving or pulsing orange/red glow.

Hmm, that's an interesting concept.  I'll have to see what I can come up with.
